According to a recent study from the Pew Internet & American Life project (Lenhardt & Madden, 2005):
More than one-half of all teens have created media content
...and roughly one-third of teens who use the Internet have shared content they produced.

This will be hard“As new technology is developed, integrating it with pedagogy is always a challenge” (Peter Mellow. The media generation: Maximise learning by getting mobile. Proceedings for ASCILITE 2005 Conference: Balance (2005))

Questions?
The EndA final thought:
My two “Digital Natives” don’t understand what a “videotape” is, or why some cameras don’t
have a screen on the back, or that you can’t watch cartoons on all
telephones.
Neither will your future athletes.
Thank You!
